Very interesting systemd thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/8165
For UEFI systems, yes, grub2 is not needed and I would never recommend it, use something simpler and easier like gummiboot or syslinux (once it gets UEFI support.)
For all other systems (and those are a lot of them), sure use grub2.
So - presuming I understand the thread at gmane right - if you move a disk between a non-EFI and EFI system, you suddenly get screwed over by a systemd that suddenly starts automounting EFI instead of your traditional /dev/sda1 onto /boot?
Huh? You do that with grub2 and you have the same issues, you can't expect to move a EFI bootloader-marked disk to a non-EFI system and expect it to boot properly, no bootloader can handle that, sorry.
Of course I can. Moreover, I can use the *same* bootloader configuration for *both* cases and transparently switch between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot.
So are you suggesting that openSUSE install two different bootloaders on all systems, and keep them in sync with the installed kernel versions, just for the extreemly rare case when someone wants to take their boot disk out of one machine and put it into another one? Have fun adding that feature :) good luck, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
